the complainant. On his shouting, his wife (who was 9 months pregnant) came out, and they allegedly hit her too, including a blow on her breast, and pulled her down, giving her fist blows. They allegedly threatened that since they are police, they have no fear of anyone, and that they can beat. Both husband and wife sustained injuries.
3.
It is submitted that the complainant expired on 28.08.2023 and his death certificate has been appended with the instant petition. It is also submitted that after the death of the complainant and with the intervention of respectable persons of the society, both the petitioners and respondent No.2 (wife of the complainant) have amicably resolved all their disputes and have no grievances against each other, and it has been mutually agreed that both sides will co-operate with each other for quashing of the instant FIR and that the compromise has been arrived at freely, voluntarily and without any threat, pressure or coercion.
4.
It is prayed by the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the parties that the instant FIR may be quashed on the basis of the settlement. 5.
Learned APP for the State submits that there is no opposition to the prayer made by the petitioners seeking quashing of the FIR in question in view of the settlement arrived at between the parties. 6.

any pressure. It is also stated by her that the entire dispute has been amicably settled between the parties and she does not wish to pursue the present FIR any further as she is now moving towards a peaceful future. Affidavit of respondent no. 2, thereby stating her no objection to the quashing of the FIR is also on record.
9.
Keeping in view the fact that the matter stands amicably settled between the petitioners and respondent no. 2 without any pressure, no fruitful purpose would be served by keeping the matter pending. It is, thus, in the interest of justice to quash the afore-mentioned FIR and the proceedings emanating therefrom.
10.
Hence, in light of the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court passed in Gian Singh vs. State of Punjab (2012) 10 SCC 303, FIR no. 121/2019 registered at Police Station Sarai Rohilla for the offences punishable under Sections 323/341/354/506/34 of the IPC. and consequent proceedings emanating therefrom, are quashed qua the present petitioners. 11.
The petition alongwith pending application(s), if any, stands disposed of.
